Monrovia School Link

Monrovia School Link ~ Number 168 ~ May 7, 2006

The Measure M (the bond to fix up Monrovia High) folks are busy. I saw them at the Friday street fair and at Saturday's MHS Band Barbecue. (Pretty good sauce on that chicken, by the way). Anyway, here are a few items that caught my eye that are on the agenda for this Wednesday's school board meeting.

At the regular meeting this Wednesday, May 10 at 7 p.m., the board will...

- Honor Plymouth Elementary School and Wild Rose Elementary School as recipients of the Title 1 Academic Achievement Award.

- Honor Wild Rose Elementary School as a recipient of the California Distinguished School Award.

- Honor Dana Elliott for her extraordinary efforts organizing the Monrovia Elementary Olympics.

- Hear a report on the Pro-Active Tutoring (P.A.T.) program.

- Hear a report about Kinder-Care and Fee Pre-School. [Sounds like paid preschool. Hmm.]

- Accept for public review prior to adoption the following Social Science Textbooks: "World History - Ancient Civilizations," Holt, Rinehart, and Winston; "World History - Medieval to Early Modern Times," Holt, Rinehart, and Winston; "United States History - Independence to 1914," Holt, Rinehart, and Winston; and "Harcourt Reflections, California Edition," Harcourt Publishers. [What in the world is a "Harcourt Reflections?"]

- Approve a tentative agreement with the Monrovia Teachers Association (MTA), California School Employees Association (CSEA), Monrovia Association of School Administrators (MASA), and the Confidential/Classified management (C/CM) for the school years 2005-2006 and 2006-2007, pending ratification by the MTA membership.
